Chapter 275 What will Huo Nanxiao do?
Xia Ningxi had a very good plan, but before she could finish speaking, Huo Nanxiao stuffed a piece of meat into her mouth.
"Don't even think about it."
Huo Nanxiao coldly replied with two words.
Seeing that she couldn't reason with her, Xia Ningxi snorted and buried her head in her food.
Xingxing was very enthusiastic, "Mommy, this fish is so delicious, Mommy, try some."
"Okay, good, Xingxing is such a good girl." Xia Ningxi smiled and stroked Xingxing's head.
Huo Yuan also chimed in, offering his services: "The shrimp is delicious too, Mommy, have a taste..."
"Wow, this is delicious! Ah Yuan is amazing!" Xia Ningxi praised Huo Yuan again.
The two sons didn't care about Huo Nanxiao's existence at all, and didn't avoid suspicion. Even Huo Yuan followed Xia Xingxing and called Xia Ningxi "Mommy" in public.
Huo Nanxiao didn't say anything. After finishing his meal, he took the group home.
The children were very noisy the whole way, chattering incessantly. They talked a lot, but they were all talking to Xia Ningxi. No one paid any attention to Huo Nanxiao. After arriving home, the family of three got out of the car without waiting for Huo Nanxiao and left immediately.
Huo Nanxiao watched the three of them leave, feeling somewhat angry and as if he were completely superfluous at that moment.
"Young Master Huo, you're finally back." The butler greeted him warmly.
Huo Nanxiao said, "Take the things out of the car and put them in the young masters' rooms."
The butler nodded and added, "Young Master Huo, the master called today to ask when you're going back to the old house. They also want to see young master Xingxing."
Huo Nanxiao said with a serious expression, "Let's talk about it later."
He turned and left.
Xingxing and Huo Yuan were upstairs arranging their new clothes, while Xia Ningxi and several maids were removing the price tags and taking the clothes to be washed and disinfected.
Holding a princess doll in his arms, Huo Yuan innocently asked Xia Ningxi, "Mommy, will Chu Chu like this little gift?"
"Yes, I will," Xia Ningxi said gently.
Huo Yuan was very happy: "That's great, I was worried that Chu Chu wouldn't like it."
Xia Ningxi said gently, "As long as it's a gift from you, Chu Chu will like it very much, so don't worry."
"Is this true?" Huo Yuan asked expectantly.
Xia Ningxi gently rubbed Huo Yuan's little head: "Would Mommy lie to you?"
"That's great! When are we going home? I miss Chu Chu so much. I'm sure she misses us too." Huo Yuan held the princess doll in his hand, eager to return to Xia Ningxi's home.
But this question stumped Xia Ningxi, because she didn't know when they would be able to go back.
Xia Ningxi said, "Why don't you go ask your daddy?"
"Okay!" Huo Yuan was very obedient and ran downstairs with the little doll in his hand.
Upon hearing the little guy's footsteps, Huo Nanxiao's cold and handsome face softened with affection.
“A Yuan”.
"Daddy, Daddy, when can I go to Chu Chu's house?" Huo Yuan asked expectantly.
Huo Nanxiao said, "This is your home, why go back?"
"I miss my sister. I want to go home with Mommy," Huo Yuan replied.
Huo Nanxiao said, "This is your home."
Huo Yuan said, "But Chu Chu isn't here."
"I'll go and bring her over. Are you satisfied now?" Huo Nanxiao asked.
Huo Yuan blinked his big eyes: "Really?"
"Really." Huo Nanxiao nodded.
"That's great, Daddy! I love Daddy so much!"
Huo Yuan happily hugged Huo Nanxiao, his sweet, childlike voice sounding wonderful.
Huo Nanxiao thought to himself, "You only like me at times like this. You weren't like this when you were pulling my hair this morning."
However, Huo Nanxiao did not hold a grudge. He smiled and told Huo Yuan to go have fun by himself, while he went to find Xia Ningxi and suggested that Xia Chuchu be brought over.
Xia Ningxi said, "No."
"Why?" Huo Nanxiao asked.
Xia Ningxi countered with a question: "Why do you want to bring Chu Chu here?"
“A-Yuan misses her.”
Xia Ningxi shook her head: "I can take Ayuan home to stay for a few days, but Chuchu can't come over."
"What are you afraid of?" Huo Nanxiao could tell at a glance that Xia Ningxi had something on her mind.
Xia Ningxi said, "Shouldn't we be dealing with our issues first? We haven't even settled the custody of these two children, and you're bringing my Chu Chu here? What exactly do you want?"
The man's face turned cold as he realized that Xia Ningxi was worried about the child's custody, and he couldn't help but find it amusing. If he remembered correctly, Xia Chuchu had said she was only three years old, so it was certain that Xia Chuchu was not Huo Nanxiao's daughter, and he wouldn't stoop so low as to covet someone else's daughter.
Huo Nanxiao said firmly, "Huo Yuan and Xingxing are both my sons, so custody will naturally be mine."
Xia Ningxi retorted, "Why should I?"
"You can't beat me."
Huo Nanxiao's magnetic voice was devoid of any warmth, yet it infuriated Xia Ningxi.
When it comes to child custody, Xia Ningxi really can't win against him.
Therefore, Xia Ningxi doesn't plan to let Huo Nanxiao know that Xia Chuchu is also his daughter. Otherwise, wouldn't Huo Nanxiao just snatch all three children away at once? What would Xia Ningxi use to fight Huo Nanxiao then?
Xia Ningxi refused Huo Nanxiao's suggestion to take Chu Chu over and explained to Huo Yuan herself. Fortunately, Huo Yuan was very sensible and didn't say anything, but Xia Ningxi could tell that Huo Yuan was very unhappy.
Xia Ningxi could only comfort him: "A Yuan, don't be sad. It's not like you'll never see Chu Chu again. Don't be heartbroken."
"Mommy, why can't Daddy know about Chu Chu?" Huo Yuan looked up and asked very seriously.
Xia Ningxi said in a low voice, "Because I don't know if your daddy will take you all away from me. Xingxing's existence can no longer be hidden. At least Mommy can still keep it from Chuchu and protect her, okay?"
"Will Daddy really take us all away and give us to Mommy Wanwan?" Huo Yuan asked again.
Xia Ningxi shook her head: "I don't know."
Huo Yuan hugged Xia Ningxi and said, "Mommy, don't worry. You are the person I love the most. Even if Daddy kidnaps me, I will run to Mommy's side."
Xia Ningxi hugged Huo Yuan with relief, deeply moved.
But will Huo Nanxiao actually do that?
Xia Ningxi had no idea what Huo Nanxiao was thinking.
However, not knowing doesn't mean Huo Nanxiao wouldn't know.
At least until now, Huo Nanxiao has not publicly revealed Xia Ningxi's identity.
No one knew that Xia Ningxi was the eldest daughter-in-law of the Huo family, the only wife who had registered her marriage with Huo Nanxiao and had children with him.
She was clearly the only person in the world qualified to stand beside Huo Nanxiao, yet Huo Nanxiao never publicly acknowledged her existence.
Xia Ningxi felt very sad.
She couldn't bring herself to trust Huo Nanxiao.
